Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
▼Tra ffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs, and provides support
for safer driving by displaying traffic signs on the active driving display/instrument
cluster which are recognised by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or recorded in
the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs) , do not enter,
traffic stop,
and passing prohibited
* signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving
display/instrument cluster while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver
using the indication in the active driving display/instrument cluster and a warning
sound.

WARNING
Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs and provides support
for safer driving. Depending on the weather conditions or problems with traffic
signs, a traffic sign may not be recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual
traffic sign may be displayed. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check
the actual traffic signs. Otherwise, it could result in an accident.
NOTE
xThe TSR is not supported in some countries or regions. For information concerning
the supported countries or regions, consult an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xThe TSR operates only if the navigation system SD card (Mazda genuine) is
inserted in the SD card slot. Consult an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) for details.

exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on.
Check the surrounding conditions and adjust the vehicle speed to the legal speed
using the appropriate operation such as depressing the brake pedal.

Distance & Speed Alert
(DSA)
*
▼Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is a system which provides
advice for maintaining the appropriate
distance between vehicles and
notifies
the driver of the recommended, safe
distance to maintain with a vehicle
ahead. The system measures the
distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle ahead while the vehicle speed
is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster. If
the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead is continuously
close, the system alerts the driver of a
possible collision using an indication
on the display and suppresses your
vehicle speed
*1 to prevent it from
approaching the vehicle ahead too
closely.
*1 The function which suppresses your
vehicle speed is not available in
some markets.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
DSA:
The ability of the system to detect a
vehicle ahead is limited depending on
the type of vehicle ahead, weather
conditions, or traffic conditions. In
addition, the system is not for
maintaining the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead. If you
neglect to operate the accelerator and
brake pedals correctly, it could lead to
an accident. Always check the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Operation conditions
The DSA operates when the following
conditions are all met.
xThe ignition is switched ON.xThe DSA is turned on.xThe shift lever (manual transmission
vehicle) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission vehicle) is in
a position other than R.
xThe vehicle speed is about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or faster.
xi-ACTIVSENSE status symbol
(warning/risk avoidance support
system) (green) is displayed.
NOTE
xThe objects which activate the
system are four-wheeled vehicles.
xThe DSA may also operate in the
presence of motorcycles and
bicycles.
xThe DSA may not operate normally
when the speed of a vehicle ahead is
too slow.
xThe system does not operate with
the following objects.
xVehicles approaching in the
opposite direction.
xStationary objects (stopped
vehicles, obstructions)
xThe DSA can be set to inoperable.
x(If only the DSA is turned off)
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
x(If the DSA is turned off by
operating the i-ACTIVSENSE
switch)
Refer to i-ACTIVSENSE Switch on
page 4-97.

xIf the ignition is switched OFF while
you have cancelled the system using
the i-ACTIVSENSE switch, the system
is automatically enabled the next
time the ignition is switched ON.
However, if the system is cancelled
using the personalisation features,
the system is not automatically
enabled.
▼Vehicle Ahead Close Proximity
Warn in g
When the system determines that the
distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle ahead is close, the
i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/
risk avoidance support system)
changes from green to amber and the
warning indication is displayed on the
multi-information display. While
checking the safety of the surrounding
area, depress the brake pedal while
keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle ahead.
Driver Attention Alert
(DAA)
*
▼Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
The DAA is a system which detects
driver fatigue and decreased
attentiveness, and encourages the
driver to take a rest.
When the vehicle is driven inside traffic
lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h
(41 to 86 mph), the DAA estimates the
amount of accumulated fatigue and
decreased attentiveness of the driver
based on the information from the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and
other vehicle information, and
encourages the driver to take a rest
using an indication on the
multi-information display and a
warning sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or
highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
